A patient with hemophilia is admitted to the hospital for hemorrhaging and treated with topical medicine. Why is treatment for hemophilia treated topically?

Hemophilia impairs the blood’s ability to clot, so hemorrhaging can continue. A topical medicine acts directly at the bleeding site to help a clot form there. Therefore, the correct choice is “It helps clots form at the affected site.”
